Approaches That Translate Well to Online Care
Client-Centered Therapy centers the client as the authority on their own life, with the therapist providing empathic listening and partnership to support self-discovery and growth. This approach is useful for work on self-esteem, life transitions, grief, and building motivation.
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying and changing unhelpful thought patterns and behaviors, offering practical tools for managing anxiety, mood concerns, and addictive behaviors. Sessions emphasize skills, experiments, and clear goals.
Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) teaches concrete skills for emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal effectiveness, helping people manage intense emotions, anger, and relationship challenges. Kari draws from these methods to tailor treatment to each person’s needs.
Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process - Kari collaborates with clients to determine which strategies fit best based on their goals, preferences, and life circumstances. She adapts methods over time so care stays aligned with what is most helpful.
Online therapy offers flexibility and accessibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. These options make it easier to attend sessions around work, family, or schooling, support continuity of care during life changes, and allow clients to engage in the format that feels most comfortable to them.
